Hit-and-

down DVP
The Don Valley Parkway was re-
opened Thursday from Don Mills
Road to the Bayview/Bloor exit
following a hit-and-run investi-
gation early Thursday morning.
The southbound lanes were
closed off by police around 3
a.m. and were reopened just
before 7 a.m.
Toronto police Const. Clint
Stibbe said a taxi struck a per-
son on the roadway sometime
before the closure.
Witnesses told police the
driver remained on scene for
approximately 10 minutes but
left before officers arrived.
Police are now searching for
both the taxi and the driver.
Maintenance in the area was
originally expected to partially
close the DVP overnight but
the police investigation made
the lanes unavailable for hours.

Tory said.
Cycling
Tory doesn’t bike.
But, he acknowledged the
need for more dedicated bike
lanes, especially on streets like
Bloor, Richmond and Adelaide,
that fill gaps in the existing net-
work.
“It’s fundamentally important
to future transportation in the
city,” he said.
“To me, what we should have
is an integrated transportation
system,” he added. “We don’t
really have such an integrated
system and whatever we do have
is not working properly.”
